Not my favourite from Swanson. I did not read the first book to this series, however I felt like this book never really developed. Very basic one dimensional and drawn out. You know who does it throughout the book yet there is no good character or story development. Big miss for me.
I feel like this book would have been better had it truly picked up where the first left off. I understand the intent was to focus on the new characters but it made the trust built between the characters carried over from the first book very unbelievable.
Interesting read after the first in the series, The Kind Worth Killing. Following along two story lines, the book starting with new characters, new stories, and the alternate narrator being characters we know and love Lily Kintner and Henry Kimball.
Following Joan & Richards story was seemingly more dark and sadistic because there was (what felt like) less meaning behind it than Lily's from the story before. The way the two plots paralleled and then crossed over was brilliant and brought a great continuation for the characters I grew to love in the first novel.
Character development: 5/5
Plot depth: 4/5 (a bit repetitive from the first book, but new takes with new characters)
Ending/ plot "twist": 5/5 foreseeable yet still surprising!!
Found my jaw dropped rapidly finishing the last quarter of the book. Loved it

3.5 ⭐️ This book is fast paced and kept my interest, but not in the same league as The Kind Worth Killing.
